Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Rinn.

This year as well, in welcoming the New Year, we have decorated each Rinn property with traditional New Year ornaments such as shimenawa sacred ropes and kagami-mochi rice cakes, in order to receive Toshigami-sama, the deity believed to bring blessings for the year ahead.

 

Honoring the Breath of Natural Materials — SHIMENAWA

At Rinn, we have adorned our facilities with traditional shimenawa crafted by Ueshima Sangyo, a company based in Wazuka Town, located at the southernmost tip of Kyoto Prefecture.
Using authentic, locally sourced materials, each shimenawa is carefully handmade, preserving the dignified presence and timeless craftsmanship of this traditional New Year decoration.

Applicable Properties:：All Rinn Machiya locations

 

Freshly Pounded Mochi by a Long-Established Confectioner — Kagami Mochi

We have displayed traditional kagami mochi made from freshly pounded rice cakes, carefully hand-shaped one by one by skilled artisans of Kōfukudō, a long-established confectioner founded in the first year of the Meiji era (1868).
